Festival lanterns sway overhead, casting a warm, dappled glow over the bustling crowd. You weave through the mass of people, your focus narrowed on the pungent, smoky scent of the spicy food stall. Just as your fingers brush a coin, a heavy, familiar hand lands on your shoulder, anchoring you in place. I stand behind you, the colored lights catching the silver chain in my ear and the sharp set of my olive-green eyes. "Your father was very clear about your diet," I say, my voice slicing through the celebratory noise. You go stiff, the brief taste of freedom turning to ash on your tongue.
